About Telegram
We track Telegram as part of our Social & Messaging coverage because it is woven into daily routines: when it stumbles, thousands of people notice within minutes. It is how people message, call, share photos and increasingly run small businesses and community groups. Its official home on the web is telegram.org, which is the address our checker tests on a schedule — if that server stops answering, this page knows before most people finish typing "is Telegram down". Telegram does not publish a phone helpline we could verify, so support runs through the official website and in-app help — the routes we link from this page. Reports here are counted honestly: a handful of complaints never gets dressed up as an outage, and a real outage is called one as soon as the pattern is unmistakable.
Common problems reported for Telegram
- Messages stuck on the clock or one tick — Your message never reached the server — a connection problem or a messaging-service outage.
- Media will not download or upload — Photos and videos fail while text works, because media runs on separate storage servers.
- Calls connect but carry no voice — Voice traffic needs a steadier connection than chat; weak networks break calls first.
- App crashing on opening — A corrupted cache or a bad update; reinstalling fixes it but check chat backup first.
- Stories, reels or feeds not refreshing — The content backend is degraded while core messaging still works.
- Logged out or verification code rejected — Account systems rate-limit code requests; repeated attempts extend the wait.
If Telegram is not working — try this
- Ask a friend on a different network to send you a message — that instantly splits "app down" from "my phone".
- Check reports here: messaging outages show up as sharp national spikes within minutes.
- Update the app from the official store; old versions lose server support quietly.
- Clear the app cache only — never clear data before confirming your chat backup is current.
- On Wi-Fi, restart the router once; messaging apps are sensitive to half-dead connections.
- Wait out verification-code cooldowns instead of requesting code after code.
Other ways to access Telegram
Most of these services also run a web or desktop version that works while the phone app struggles, and vice versa. For urgent contact, a plain SMS or phone call still bypasses every app outage.
Questions
Is Telegram down right now?
Right now Telegram shows as "Operational" on this page, based on 0 problem reports and 0 working signals from visitors in the last 24 hours, cross-checked by our automated probes of the official website. That picture updates as new reports arrive, so the freshest answer is always the verdict at the top of this page.
Why is Telegram not working today?
The failures people report most for Telegram are messages stuck on the clock or one tick and media will not download or upload. Behind those sit the usual causes: servers overloaded at peak hours, a faulty app update, maintenance that overran, or a problem at one link in the chain — the app, the network or a payment partner. The troubleshooting list on this page covers the fixes that actually work, in order.
How can I check if Telegram is down or it is just me?
Three quick tests settle it. First, read the verdict above — a spike in reports means it is not just you. Second, open Telegram on a different network, such as mobile data instead of Wi-Fi. Third, try a second device or the website instead of the app. If it fails everywhere while reports climb, it is a genuine outage; if it works elsewhere, the fault is local.
When will Telegram be back up?
Nobody outside Telegram can promise a time, and providers rarely give one. In practice, most partial outages of this kind clear within thirty minutes to a few hours, and peak-hour failures often fade as the rush passes. Watch the report chart on this page: when fresh problem reports stop and "works for me" signals take over, the service is recovering.
How do I contact Telegram customer care?
Telegram does not publish a phone helpline we could verify, so genuine support runs through the official website (telegram.org) and in-app help. Be careful: any website or social post advertising a "Telegram support number" is very likely a scam, because there is no official number to advertise.
Is Telegram down in my city, or across India?
Reports on this page are collected nationally, and most big failures are national too. Local problems do happen — a single bank branch network, one telecom circle, one broadband exchange — and they look different: the service works for friends in other cities while your reports cluster. If people elsewhere say Telegram works, suspect a local fault and use the helpline.
